This is one of those songs that you can sing along at the top of your lungs. Love it. The BEST part in the video is at the end where he chucks a beer out into the crowd and the girl snags it. That's something I would do. But then I would fall off the damn railing.
Has classic elements of a true country song. "my ex gf ain't lookin half bad" "sucker punched my best friend"
At the 3:00 mark, David Allen Coe launches his famous perfect country western song that everybody knows yet never gets tired of hearing again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMqlvZtDbRE
MOST excellent! The quintessential country song. Everything bad that could happen does happen. WAAAAAAH!
I have to admit I HATED country music for most of my life, with a visceral irrational, intractable hatred. But my daughter has an eclectic range of music she likes, country being one of them, so I've started listening to it and some of it is just plain fun! I think it has grown up a lot, too. No more Tammy Wynette or Lyle Waggoner shit today. Thank God. Luke Bryan or Eric Church are great.
You probably mean Porter Wagoner. Lyle Waggoner is the actor and former model who was the beefcake on the Carol Burnett Show. And regarding Tammy Wynette--if you think what she contributed was "shit", then your opinion about country music is amusing.
But naturally, many of us are made happy when a lady of your quality relents and says "some of it is just plain fun". We live for that sort of validation.
I'll just bet someone told you the guy from Nine Inch Nails liked the Johnny Cash version of their song "Hurt", and after that you were a Johnny Cash fan.
HA! Lyle...Porter...I told you I hated country music back then. I obviously wasn't paying any attention.
Hate Nine Inch Nails, so their opinion wouldn't budge me a smidgen. Sorry. Johnny Cash? He's a classic, across all genres, but I only like a few songs. How about "Dirty Old Egg Sucking Hound," or "Flushed From The Bathroom Of Your Heart"?
